Captivate 6 Actors copyright question

Our company often launches Captivate simulations from with a course shell developed in another tool. Would we be able to use the images of the new actors from the Captivate 6 simulations in our other tool as well without violating copyright?

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Content published using Captivate can be inserted as part of a larger course (possibly created using a third party authoring tool). But you cannot remove the images of Actors alone, and use it
Thanks,

Captivate 5.5 Question: We seem to be having an issue with the screen capture piece not recording "everything".
We're running 5.5 as an administrator on Windows 7 and my co-worker is trying to capture a webinar (GoToMeeting) with Captivate and it is not recording anything in the GTM window, except the last slide. Anyone have this problem or know a fix? Not much is mentioned in the Adobe forums.

Captivate simply doesn't 'hear' some screen events on certain applications and you just need to resort to doing manual captures at these points.
I usually set up my manual capture button to be F2 so that I can hit it with my left hand while my right hand is on the mouse navigating through the task.

Adobe Captivate Help | Import questions from GIFT format files (Cp 7)

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/using/import-questions-gift-format-files.html

Hi there,
Captivate 7 doesn't support tags during GIFT import. So you won’t be able to import Images, links etc. as part of GIFT Import.
Thanks,

Captivate 7 - quiz questions not showing tick/select boxes on ipad

I'm having an issue when testing a course on ipad, on the question slides the radio buttons/tick boxes don't show. The module also doesn't show which answer you have selected. The course works fine across other browsers on desktops (both PC and MAC).
I've checked the HTML5 tracker, and there are no reported errors. The questions are default captivate multiple choice question.
Thanks,
Chris.

I have installed the 7.0.0, patch upgrade to 7.0.1.237, and instead of using the Master Slide I have uploaded a white background image. Within the properties tab>general, I have checked the project background option and uploaded my background image. Both Master slide objects on top and Use master slide background are unchecked.
I have uploaded my module to Moodle 2.5, and tests have gone well on all desktops and all browsers. Only the last slide contains any interactivity, and has checkboxes and a submit button to confirm their attestation of completion. However, when tested on an iPad, this one slide that contains the check boxes and submit button appear white/or blank. Would anybody have insight into this issue?

Screenshot copyright question?

I have no idea what forum I'd ask this question, so if my question can't be answered here, please advise where to post.
I'd like to put a screenshot of a Numbers spreadsheet on my website to demo something, but I don't know if there are any copyright issues. I've searched, but can't find any Apple page that deals with it. I found one for Excel on the Microsoft website with instructions, but nothing from Apple.
If anyone can point me in the right direction, it'd be appreciated,
Doug

Copyright question for posting to the web

hi all.
i am wondering if someone wouldn't mind giving me a bit of expertise on a question i have.
i have a set of images from various sources that are basically creative imagery. i have organized these and i would like to share them by posting them to an album on my flickr account.
i have named the files with the topic and the photographer and i am wondering if it is likely to create a problem. in /most/ cases these images are actually from the New York Times so the file name says "architecture house_ray jones NYT.png" or whatever.
is there a hard rule against this? is it possible to give attribution in the photo explanation and be OK?
thanks for any advice.

You'd have to contact the copyright holder to find out what you can do with the images.

OK. I have a copyright question. Do I have to put a copyright symbol on each of my photos to protect them from being stolen ? I'm referring to photos of paintings here. What is to stop readers of the iBook from using the photos?

Ok, I have a question concerning copright. Do I have to put a copyright symbol on every image I use- I'm refering to photos of paintings here. What is to stop readers of the ibook from using my images? They are all my own photos.

You do not HAVE to put a © symbol on each photo. If you own the photos, you hold the copyright. However, nothing stops a viewer from downloading the photo and using it without your permission.
To protect yourself there are alternatives: put a ©2013 by ME in the description of each photo. Always add your copyright notice to the metadata in every photo.
I once had several of my photos taken off the internet and then used in a commercial catalog without my permission. I was outraged, the catalog company was naive, and in the end I received $100 compensation and an apology. - Fabini

Alex voice copyright question

I'd like to know if apple has a copyright on the "Alex" voice itself. I'm a writer and I'm writing a series of poems about technology and computers. I really like the way the poems sound when read by a synthesized voice since it fits in with the technical vibe that I'm going for.
If I was to record "Alex" reading my poems into an mp3, add some mood music using garage band, what are the copyright considerations? I'm looking for several answers to the different facets of this question, such as:
Can I legally record the voice at all?
Can I legally record the voice and release it as free content?
Can I legally record the voice and release it as paid content (specifically, I'd like to release a companion CD with a book of poems)?
If so, is it simply a matter of giving apple credit and a citation for the voice? Or would I actually owe them money since I used their voice to read my content and made some (small amount) of money off of it?
If it's really an issue I can read the poems myself, trying to simulate a computerized voice, but I really like the "Alex" voice. It sounds like a neat mix of human and machine, sounding mechanical a large part of the time, but creepily human in others. It's a great effect, and really adds to the mood I am trying to establish with my series of tech poems.
Anyway, thanks for your replies. I'm looking forward to anyone who can shed some light on this.

I cannot comment on the legality issue.
However I would like to give some guidance on how to record poetry using Alex.
(1) You can record directly into an audio file.
* Put your text into a plain text file (not formatted or rich text). One way to do this is with TextEdit.
* Run Terminal, navigate (using "cd") to the folder containing that file. e.g. MyFile.txt
* type the following:
say -v Alex -f MyFile.txt
You should then hear the text spoken by Alex. If it sounds the way you like it, then type
say -v Alex -f MyFile.txt -o MyFile.aiff
You will not hear anything, but the file "MyFile.aiff" will be created in the same directory. You can play this in the Finder, put it into iTunes, work with it in GarageBand, etc.
The advantage of doing this, rather than plugging the audio output of your Mac into a recording device, is that the quality is maximum, there is no distortion, no added noise, no spectral imbalance, and the signal-to-noise ratio will be as good as it gets.
(2) When recording poetry (or anything else), liberally add punctuation. Particularly in poetry at the ends of lines. Commas add a pause and a falling-rising pitch pattern. Exclamation marks will raise the pitch peaks of preceding accented words. An intervening blank line causes a new paragraph to begin, which inserts a larger pause and does lots of things to the pitch.
Compare Alex synthesis of the following two passages. To do so, select all the text and then choose
Safari>Services>Speech>Start Speaking Text
Hit it once

Hit it once,

You might not like that particular set of punctuation, but it illustrates the point.

Logic Loop Copyright Question

Hi all. My question is, are all of the loops provided in Logic, Garageband, or any of the Jampacks, free from copyright restrictions? Meaning when utilized for commercial purpose, do they need to be declared as samples, or is everything provided, basically up for grabs? Thanks!

I thought this was quite clear:
"2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.
This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-labeled computer at a time. You may use the Apple and third party audio loop content (“Audio Content”), contained in or otherwise included with the Apple Software, on a royalty-free basis, to create your own original soundtracks for your video and audio projects.
You may broadcast and/or distribute your own soundtracks that were created using the Audio Content, however, individual samples, sound sets, or audio loops may not be commercially or otherwise distributed on a standalone basis, nor may they be repackaged in whole or in part as audio samples, sound libraries, sound effects or music beds."

Drop Down Options in Captivate 6 Sequence Question

Hello!
I'm working on a project using Captivate 6. There is a Sequence question using the drop down option for Answer Type. For this particular question there are 5 items that need to be placed in order. When a learner clicks the drop down to answer the question only 4 of the 5 options display forcing the learner to scroll to see the last option. Is there a way to make the drop down display larger so the learner doesn't have to scroll?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Marie

Thanks Lilybiri!
This was helpful. My team decided to stick with the drop down format, but by making the font size smaller we were able to fit all 5 options into the window (taking away the need to scroll.
Thanks again,
Marie

Captivate 2.0 Questions/Problems

Several problems/questions with Captivate 2.0
1) When I insert any type of animation, I am unable to use
the menu options (File, Edit, View, etc). I have to close the
program and open the file again.
2) When I import slides from PowerPoint, sometimes it will
only grab 1, 3, 7, 15, or all slides. It's hit or miss.
3) Anyone know how I can add an 'Audio Replay' button? On
text heavy slides, I want students to be able to click on a button
and replay the audio clip.
4) Insert question slides 'back' button does not function
when the submit button is pressed.
That's all for now.

Hi there cegrubb
For the animation/menu bit, simply click to place focus on
any object in the library (Image or Animation or audio file). Once
focus is placed there, your menus should stabilize. (That is, until
you interact with another animation object, then you will have to
repeat this process. But it beats restarting the application.
Not sure what to tell you about the PP import issue. Can't
say I've ever seen it happen. I vaguely recall someone reporting
this issue here in the forums once or twice, but I'm not sure if
any resolution was ever found.
For an "Audio Replay", I'm thinking you have audio on the
slide itself. So what you can do is to insert a really really short
slide just before the slide. Then point the button at this new
slide. Effectively, the button is clicked by the user, the slide is
displayed and progresses directly into the slide with the button.
Bottom line is that the audio replays as the slide is played over!
For the back button to work, you may need to examine the Quiz
Manager and allow backward movement.
Hopefully one or two things here were actually helpful...

Captivate 5: Quiz question timing

I created two quiz questions that have voice-over. When the trainee answers the question and presses "y" or clicks anywhere, the module does not advance to the next screen. It stays on the question slide for 41.9 seconds. I tried to change the slide timing, but it just keeps reverting back to 41.9. Does anyone know how I can change the timing or make the click/press work?

Good question. The voice-over is 26 seconds long.
I just tried making two slides: One with the voice over and one with just the question. The question slide is still 41.9 seconds. I'm beginning to think the time is tied to the length of the explanation when it is answered incorrectly.
I remember in previous versions of Captivate, the programmer had control over what happens when the trainee clicks the screen or types a letter. I don't see that interaction anymore.

[captivate 3] random question slide doesn't work

hello,
I'm noob in Captivate.
I use Captivate demo (in french).
I want to make a quizz for my students.
So, I create a "question pool manager" with 1 pool project
"reseau_locaux".
This pool project have 13 questions.
Then I click "slides" on the filmstrip, I add a "Random
question slide" and I click on the "Question pool menu" to select
my pool project "reseau_locaux"
After generating project, I have only 1 question from my
question pool project.
I read the help guide but it's not help me.
It gets me crazy...
I hope you understand my english.
thanks

Welcome to our community, Anthony
Basically you are doing everything right. I'm a bit unclear
on what you were expecting to see. Perhaps it will help you if I
explain how the Question Pools and Random Questions work.
You define a pool of questions using the Question Pools
Manager. You advise you have done that. So far so good.
You then insert a Random Question Slide. When you insert one
of these, you point the slide at a Question Pool. You advise that
you have done that too.
I'm guessing here that perhaps you expected that by inserting
a single Random Question Slide you would end up presenting all 13
questions from the pool. Just in random order?
If so, that's not how it was designed to work. What happens
is that a single random question from the pool is presented. If you
desire to see all 13 of your questions, but in random order, you
need to insert 13 Random Question Slides and point them at your
Question Pool.
You may wonder at this point if you do this, will it would be
possible to see perhaps question 2 multiple times. And the answer
to that is no. Once a question has been presented, it is removed
from consideration in the pool. So after the first one is
presented, Captivate randomizes from what remains in the pool.
Hopefully that helps better explain it.
Cheers... Rick

Captivate 8 Quiz question need help!!!

Hi,
I am trying to create a quiz in captivate 8. When the user answers the question correctly, i want correct caption to show ( which is showing ) but i also want a trophy (image) to appear to give the user a little motivation to go to the next question.
If user selects the wrong choice of the multiple choice question twice, they will be directed back to the slide where the answer is ( remediation ) and from there i want the next button to change to 'return back to quiz button'
Thats how i want quiz to be like.
I have created the advance action to pop up the trophy (image) when user is right but then remediation doesnt work, means when they come back from the section where the answer is, they cant select the right answer as the quiz has not been reset.
These are grave issues i am dealing with. If there is any solution to this, please kindly help me out. I would be really grateful if there is anyone to sort this out.

Thankyou for your reply. Yes i tried that but once i preview that particular slide, the 'next button' takes time to go to the next slide ( like i have to click more than once to go to the next slide) and it is happening on every slide that has remediation on.
So i thought i make a 'return button' that is only visible when the user comes back from the quiz. Not sure how to do that as i am already using advance action on quiz slides, On success on the quiz slide to show the correct caption and the trophy. And on last attempt they go back to the slide where the answer is but once they come back they can't select the answer ( its locked ) and remediation slides does not go forward as quickly as other content slides.
I hope you understand what i mean ?

Loops Copyright Question

Can the loops be used to create my own song and be able to copyright this for myself or are the loops protected by Apple copyright?

ZekeThe2nd wrote:

Yes - although you don't really copyright your song, that happens automatically as soon as you create it. Registering copyright is what requires you to do something.
or are the loops protected by Apple copyright?
As I understand it, only to the extent that you couldn't sell them as your loops. However, you're allowed to use them in your music, in which you own the copyright.
